Duke gamepad with left thumbstick drift

Hi there,

I bought an old duke gamepad which unfortunately has a problem with its left thumbstick.

The thumbstick feels OK and can move in any direction but it always sends the same x-axis signal : full right i.e. maximum positive value (tested with TestLaunch).

What could be the cause? Bad cable? Bad solder? Bad joystick mechanism? Something else?

Please advise!

TIA

Serge

I think the potentiometer is dirty or defective.

You can desolder  the poti and clean the contact surface with IPA.

Or you can replace the complete thumbstick with a new one from aliexpress.

The 360 thumbsticks fit in the Xbox S controller.

If it fits in the duke controller can i not guarantee.

I opened my duke controller just few weeks ago because I had a similar problem with the left stick. I'm not 100% sure but I would bet it has the same sticks as the S controller. Actually this kind of problems could depend even from some kind of corrosion or dirt on the main board, so I'd suggest to give it a really good clean before taking out the soldering iron.
